Kate LaTeX typesetting plugin

Kate LaTeX typesetting plugin is a plugin for Kate that adds two buttons on the toolbar: "Run LaTeX" and "View Output".

While the first button runs LaTeX, the second button opens the output in the viewer of your choice.

Installation:

Before compiling, you may want to change the installation paths in the file CMakeLists.txt. To compile and install this plugin, execute the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

What is new in this release:

• Add "Go to next LaTeX error" and "Go to previous LaTeX error" buttons.

What is new in version 0.4.1:

• set pdflatex as the default typesetting program (instead of latex)
• let this plugin be compilable on Debian (Ubuntu, ...) systems by providing our own copies of the missing header files (this is sooo dirty, but blame Debian for removing those headers); on decent systems the headers installed in the system will be used instead of our own copies
• make the plugin more thread safe
• reimplementation of the configuration panel
• in the "Messages" box, use the colors from the color scheme set in the KDE System Settings

What is new in version 0.4:

• remove bug: when the warning about undefined citations is splitted on several lines in the log, then bibtex is not run
• focus the log text when the log panel is shown, so that the log can be browsed with the keys without first having to click in the log text
• show error message if the latex/bibtex/makeindex executables are not found
• remove bug: sometimes the latex log is not completely shown

What is new in version 0.3.1:

• remove bug: if the "Stop LaTeX" button is added to the toolbar, then it doesn't remain in the toolbar when restarting Kate
• remove bug: in the "Configure Shortcuts" dialog the label of the group containing this plugin's actions is "Unknown" instead of "LaTeX Plugin"
• the "Stop LaTeX" action is disabled when LaTeX is not running

What is new in version 0.3:

• add abort button
• don't try to run anything if the document is a never saved new document ("untitled")
• in CMakeLists.txt: installation paths are now the defaults specified in the KDE cmake modules
• add support for creating source and binary packages
• add French translation

Requirements:

• KDE Plasma
